Quatuor Diotima's Onslow recording to be awarded 'Diapason d'or'!

The Quatuor Diotima will be awarded "Diapason d'or" + "CD of the month" in the January issue of the magazine!

This is Quatuor Diotima's first recording for Naïve and is dedicated to a forgotten romantic French composer: George Onslow. Quatuor Diotima has recently been developing a significant concert activity worldwide and has toured China, Taiwan, South Korea, Germany, Italy, Switzerland and the UK!

Founded by graduates of the Paris and Lyon conservatoires, the quartet takes its name from Luigi Nono’s Fragmente-Stille, an Diotima, thus affirming its commitment to the music of our time. Ever since its formation, the quartet has made international appearances which have taken it to most of the major European festivals and concert series, notably the Philharmonie and Konzerthaus in Berlin, the Museo Reina Sofia in Madrid, the Cité de la Musique in Paris, and the Wigmore Hall in London.
